"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
--Frank Herbert in Dune

So fear...hmmmm. I've become the type of person to let fear run my life nowadays. Fear of the unknown, fear of change, fear of what's out there, fear of rejection. IT's starting to suffacate me. The thing is, i used to be afraid of more stuff than i am today, but back then i would confront the fears. This is the man who was afraid of heights but did a 440 foot bungee jump just to spite that fear.



So where's this man today? What happened to him? Why did he stop confronting the fears that were his obstacles to life?

I think the answer is comfort. I've become so enamored of comfort that even as disaster approaches my life, the thought of getting up from the comfy chair of my existence is horrific. I need to get uncomfortable and i need to do that which i would otherwise not. I need to confront my fears head on and i need to not be bored again wiith life. I need CHANGE.

Maybe i'll re-write this one later...maybe not.
